It's been a difficult time for both Joe Hardy and Debbie Hardy-Ucman. They are both going through divorces with other people, and they seem to be leaning on each other for support.

Joe Hardy made his millions founding 84 Lumber and then Nemacolin Woodlands Resort. He is also a Fayette County commissioner.

But it was his love life that thrust him into the spotlight. After a second failed marriage to Debbie Hardy, the 84-year-old hopped a plane to Las Vegas and got hitched to Georgi, 23, of Masontown. But the marriage fizzled in less than three months.

Now, he's being romantically linked to 22-year-old Danielle Golden, of Dunbar, whose relatives said she is smitten with Hardy.

On her MySpace page, Golden's quote read, "The best things in life are free...the second best are EXPENSIVE," and her current mood is listed as "determined."

But there's no doubt he still cares for his ex-wife, Debbie. She told WTAE Channel 4 Action News that her ex-husband hired the bodyguards that accompanied her to Ucman's hearing on Monday.

She said he was concerned about her safety.

Ucman is charged with stealing $5 million worth of her jewelry after he learned she found a new man.

Debbie Hardy filed for divorce months before the alleged theft. She said he's been begging to come back, sending her cards and leaving her voicemails.

"She's fun, but she got crazy," Ucman said after his hearing on Monday. "People partying there at 5 in the morning. I'd get up to go to work, people would be jumping on the beds."

But Debbie Hardy said it was Ucman's violence that broke up the marriage. She was granted a temporary protection from abuse order because she said he beat her so badly she thought she was going to die.

She said she plans to use her influence to help put an end to domestic violence in Westmoreland County.

Debbie Hardy will be in court on Wednesday seeking a permanent PFA against Ucman.
